I grew a handful of sunflowers this year and they just catch the morning and evening sun so beautifully, I was wondering if anyone else was enjoying their own sunflowers this summer.

Great shot jharr!  I tried growing some several years ago, they were a giant variety called Sunzilla. They were just starting the get some good seeds when the squirrels attacked them, pulled the heads off and ate all the seeds.  I haven't tried to grow any since.    :(

Don't get me started about squirrels after what the little &*$£ers did to my crocuses.  Rats with fluffy tails is what they are.

I now have a heavy duty catapult and a bag full of dried conkers to deal with any that dare wander into my garden.

Nice sunflower shot by the way.

We don't have grey squirrels down here in San Diego. Not sure if anything will come for the seeds. Maybe a opossum?

Here's another.

Hi James. That extra bit down south you are means you get to enjoy sunflowers already! I have not seen any  flower yet in southern ontario. These are last year in the splendor of goofy lomochrome ;-)

(Actually I have to admit shooting vegetation with lomochrome every now and then is kind of fun and surprising. Tho the half dozen rolls I have will last a few years!!)

Went out and took this one for the thread earlier this evening. Had a little processing problem (seems to always happen in my blues - note the artifacts at top, right) and I'm not completely happy with it, but I'll take the SQ-A out in the next couple of days around the same time and try to capture what I imagined. Fuji GA645Zi on Ektar. I got a couple to turn out okay on the Polaroid 360 that I'll post if there's interest.

I'd like to see the Polaroids! And I don't think there's anything wrong with the image above. The blue is on the intense side, but it offsets the backlit orange petals nicely, complimentary colors and all. Keep 'em coming!

Burned another couple of rolls on sunflowers in morning light for practice with the subject and tried out the new macro lens (110mm f/4.5 PS) on the SQ-A. I wish I could figure out the specs on the negative (more easily seen on the Portra). Anyone have ideas?

Here's a sunflower growing across the street from my building. An "urban sunflower", if you will.

(http://www.indofunkstudios.com/images/canonet/2014_07_15_trix/20140715-01-yellow_filter.jpg)

It's actually a part of a series of test shots using 3 filters (yellow, lt green, dk green) because I refuse to believe that green filters are good for photographing flowers, as is commonly claimed. And at least in this case, I believe I'm correct (maybe only because sunflowers are yellow. maybe a green filter would work better for a red flower).

Full test series here (http://indofunkstudios.com/image.php?dir=images/canonet/2014_07_15_trix), if you care.

I had a few old shots of sunflowers but I can't find the prints or the negatives without some serious digging. I'm going through and re-organizing my office room so I might run across them, but in the meantime, I'll see if I can take some new ones.

Like this one!

Went to a sculpture garden a few days ago and found this deconstructed sunflower so I grabbed a shot for y'all! :) The angle was tricky. Too close or the wrong vantage point and it didn't look like a sunflower anymore.

These were growing on a stockpile of lead and arsenic contaminated soil that had been there since last summer.  It was soil we excavated from residential properties so someone must have had them growing in their yard.  The black mound you see in the background is slag from an old lead smelter.  I shot this with my Zorki 4K with an Industar-50 lens using Kodak Ektar 100 film.

A couple more around my neighborhood. This is the first roll of the 2 bricks of 1980 Ektachrome 64 daylight I got. Cross-processed in C41. I shot it at 25, which worked great for the last batch of Ektachrome 64D I had, but obviously it was too much for this roll. Next roll I'll shoot at 50 and see how it comes out. Since I pulled it back 4 full stops in Lightroom, I'm thinking maybe I can even shoot it at 100?

Goegeous! When you cross process, do you still expose for the ISO on the box or do you expose differently?
: Re: Show me some sunflowers
: jharr August 18, 2014, 04:49:55 PM
Hmmm... That's a good question. I have never thought about developing this film in E6, so I'm not sure what its "box speed" should be. There is no speed printed on the can and there is no speed referenced in the spec sheet from Kodak. It's 30 years expired as well, so that effects the speed. I shoot it at iso 50 though I have read about people shooting it as low as iso 8. I think that generally duplicating films were slow in case you wanted to dodge/burn. I like the "pushed" look I get at 25-50, so I haven't experimented much. Hungry Mike has a roll of this as well, so maybe he can chime in and let us know how he is using it. There is a wide variance of how people expose for x-pro, from +2 to -2 stops. If I were starting with a new stock that I wasn't familiar with, I would just start at box speed. Maybe I would bracket a couple of shots (but probably not). Satish (Indofunk) is sending me a couple rolls of waaaay expired Ektachrome (yo0u can see a couple of his shots with it above). He shot those about 1.5 over box speed and while I appreciate the aesthetic, it isn't quite what he was going for. So I am going to try a couple of experimental things and see if I can get a different look out of that film.

I'm not sure any of that is helpful, but I look forward to seeing your x-pro shots when you get them.

Thanks,
James
: Re: Show me some sunflowers
: Hungry Mike August 18, 2014, 07:47:18 PM
Not sure if I have much to add this discussion but my understanding of this particular dupe film is that the ISO is very low, something like 6 or less. I certainly could be wrong but I believe that is the case. I haven't used this particular film much but my limited experience doing Xpro is that it should be shot pushed as James (Jharr) has in his shots (I really like the colour palette the film gets). 50 to even 100.

I finally have some sunflower shots to share! I was so excited that had both time AND camera so I could stop and take pictures. These were technically in someone's yard but they were huge and growing over the sidewalk, so it's not like we just walked onto someone's property. And these were pretty massive sunflowers. One was the size of my head!

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but Ted Forbes did a short video comparing 3 photographic interpretations of a sunflower. The photos were from famous photographers, but looking back through the thread, I think that many of the photos here are of equal if not better quality. So this begs the question... What makes Tom Baril's photo worth more to a publisher or a collector than say Phil's or Leonore's? Is it just name recognition? Did they just catch the right gallery owner's eye at the right time/place? Or is the something qualitatively/objectively better?
I realize that d!&!74L photography and the internet have changed the whole world of photography and people I think realize that there are not just a few core photographers producing amazing work. So with so many talented photographers, is it just the luck of the draw for who gets paid/famous? I don't mean to diminish the accomplishments of those here that are successful photographers. I know that you must work very hard at your craft. I am just asking about the quality of the photos on a gallery wall compared to some that never make it past a forum or a Flickr group.
Any thoughts?

I do think that luck now has more to do with it than talent... and also timing.
People who managed to get discovered in the early 1980's had a lot more chance than those trying to get noticed nowadays.

The other day while going through some old tapes, I found a show on small business that I had recorded somewhere possibly in the late 1990's. They were interviewing an Australian photographer who started photographing in 1980 and specialized in panoramic postcard like pictures that he sold through one of his 5 galleries. The guy shot everything on a Linhof, had a drum scanner, custom framing shop, 87 full time employees and no problems filling orders. I have doubts he would have managed to get the success he had if he was to start these days.

Very nice photo Ed. If you have a ton, why not post a few more? It seems to be a subject that everyone gets around to eventually. They are just so photogenic!

It's that time of year again. And I just developed a roll of the ever-popular Ektachrome Slide Dupe film.

Already sunflowers?
Geez... We won't be seeing any around here for at least a month!

Glad to see the revival of this thread... sunflowers are such cheerful souls aren't they?

A shot from a couple of years back. Certainly Nikon F4, likely Kodak EBX100.

Delta 100 in the Speed Graphic.

Lovely shots Tony and SanMiguel. Keep them coming. I love this thread. People are so creative when shooting essentially the same thing. The current Bikes thread is the same kind of thing. Give filmwasters a subject and watch the creativity flow!

Double exposure on expired Ektachrome 64D (thanks Satish) exposed at iso 12.

This film appreciated the over-exposure and scanned quite easily. Not much done in post but some dust spotting.

This one is on my perennial favorite Ektachrome Slide Dupe film. Alas, I am down to my last roll. :(

Wow, I'm amazed that you can make any images at all, never mind really good images, with that old desert-stored expired film :D Well done!!

Tony, Timmy, Rob, all lovely sunflower shots! I never get tired of this thread and come back to it periodically just to look. Thanks for contributing.

Tony, that's quite a different direction than your previous shot above. I love the grain and contrast.

Timmy, that shot is like "blue, blue, blue, YELLOW!!!" That's like photo fireworks.

Rob, you have captured the sadness that is the end of sunflower season. But even withering, it is beautiful, giving its life back to the ground.

Driving through the Palouse recently I came upon this surreal field of sunflowers.  Shot with a Pentax ME using expired Kodak gold 200.
